Rant:Does Winning=Fun?
When I first started playing it was a lot of fun to play magic with my friends. Then something terrible happen I wanted to win more and more. My only goal was to finally win a FNM I went to great lengths to better my game and try to perfect it. And some where along the line the fun got lost in the shuffle to be the best. Instead of just having some people over to play cops and aliens or go to Carl's Jr after the FNM and play multi-player it all just became play testing. Play test for this play test for that nobody wants to play multiplayer anymore.
For a time I thought this was ok but now I just want to have fun again. So I decided to try to get people to excited about other formats besides standard. I have been pushing EDH in my circle now with great success slowly but surely my friends are coming back to there senses and realizing hey I used to just play for fun. Winning is always good but winning should be a bonus not what you focus on all the time. The journey to a win or lost is what you should focus on not the outcome because hey you won't win them all. Might as well have fun.
Moral:Play something you like not something that wins and you will enjoy the game much longer.

Or play something you like that wins ;-) strider has made the most important point to the game of magic the gathering. If your not having fun why are you wasting your time and money. Winning is only fun when you are winning all night long. If you play something you like then every game is going to be somewhat fun at the very least. This game is about good times, so keep havin them good times!
